   $imagefile =$_FILES['images']['tmp_name']['$key'];
 copy($imagefile, "information/$imagename");     


}
}

          }

<html>

<title>Upload an image to a database</title>


<body>



<h2>Update with new information</h2>

<form name="form" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="<?php echo"$PHP_SELF";  ?>">
<?php
echo "<table border='0' width='400' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' align=center>";
for($i=1; $i<=4; $i++){
echo "<tr><td>Images $i</td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td><input type=file name='images[]' class='bginput'></td></tr>";
}
?>

<input type="submit" name="action" value="Update">
</form>

</body>
</html>

This form intended to upload many images. I don't know why the code is not working. Do anyone have the solution. Thank

First 'problem' that jumps out at me is the random whitespace in the code. Are you using an editor that randomly inserts any number of vertical/horizontal tabs at its own discretion?!

Second problem is that you place a variable inside single quotes (e.g. '$key'). Not only is this wrong because single quotes implies that no variable interpolation is done (see this manual page to learn about different ways of constructing strings: [man]string[/man]), but it's wrong because no quotes are needed. If the string consists of nothing but the variable, get rid of the quotes and just leave the variable.

Oh how I despised learning about that type of poetry in high school English. Honestly, if you take those outrageously hilarious spam messages where they simply dump a dictionary onto a random selector, add in sungpeng's random whitespace generator, then BAM, you have poetry (a la E.E. Cummings).

We have a winner!

But really; I used to do random stuff like that and submit it to the university literary journal to see if they'd publish it. Often, they did.
